After seeing the footage my veredict is:

Bring gravel traps back!

Agreed.

Edit: maybe not typical but after the s/f line there's 600m to T1, so the braking on cold tyres/brakes is much harder than usual. To me it was kind of expected to see tyres locking and cars going wide.

Fuji start: onboard Massa plus heli cam. Quality could be better though, anyone has seen a high quality version of this?

Hamilton at T3 reminded me of Brazil 2007 for some reason...

Quote from zeugnimod :

OK.

:chairs:

Oh, and somebody slap me for getting rid of the Elf fuel after the 4th or 5th race of the season. I would have at least 200 more points now if I stayed with that fuel.

My pleasure. :chair:

Can we have Hamilton and Massa to explode their cars before the next race's start? I just can't stand them anymore...

Anyways, it was a surprisingly good race. Too bad it got screwed by those who don't have a ******* idea what racing is. Bourdais' penalty was just.... such a... well.. nevermind.

Somebody slap me for changing Alonso for Kovalainen. :ashamed:

Since people are taking this thread seriously...

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I also think that 0 is not nothing.

If you didn't play LFS today (read: you played LFS zero times today), how many times did you play LFS today? hint: it is not an infinitely small value, unless you sleepwalk or something...

@0.999... discussion: 0.999... does not tend to anything, it's just 0.999... What tends to 1 is it's estimate value, wich we created to make real life applications possible (you can't do math with a number when you don't know it's exact value - like 0.999...).

What's the difference between that picture and nothing? Didn't race in MoE but looks way unrestricted in my opinion...

Wow it was better than I expected. Good number of cars, clean race.

My first laps were sad, one by one the XFGs were passing me. After some laps it settled and I could race on my own pace, but couldn't improve much. Managed to get away from Ihab but couldn't catch Hypothraxer.
Then after my pitstop I was suddenly in a much better position. Smack was catching me but he had to pit, so I was alone in the track for the last 10 minutes or so.
Congrats to FiredUp for his amazing pace, and the top 3.

Quote from J@tko :

Hmm, no-one told me the pass - I was going to come in and watch

Yeah, we decided to password it before the race to avoid random people joining and lagging and spamming. But seems like I forgot the non-random people...

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

I'm up for this too, just saw it now, and god knows I love a good xfg+xrg race.

Quote from tonyonparas :

I just saw this post, but i think I´ll show up. Souds fun.
Now I´m off to practice

Awesome! Just hop in the server, we're practicing.

FOX for me as well.

Quote from pacesetter :

What cars is everyone driving, havent done ANY practice, but im confident i can do well with the XRG

Had a few laps yesterday with the Sonicrealms guys, people seem to prefer the XRG. I know I'll be using it.

Quote from Ihab Abbas :

I cant do it Sunday , u said 4-10 !!! and cuz of that I entered the event !!! pls confirm the date and time !!

Yeah, so sorry about that... The race will be indeed on sunday...

Blurred several-years-old 15'' CRT at 1024x768@60Hz.

Yup. It probably won't have one unless there's a lot of people... Either way on sunday I'll PM everybody that posted here as a reminder and with the right server information.

Great. I have another offer as well so let's see how it goes till sunday. But thanks for offering yours, we can use it if needed.

I'm interested in this race as well. My sundays became boring without the GF challenges.

I'm voting for WE1R.

Hm... Well, shouldn't be too hard to find another one just for safety..

Thanks for helping out, Jack.

And Kimi had the fastest lap... AGAIN.

Quote from hyntty :

4.10 is Saturday btw..

:doh: I'm confusing days in english and portuguese... The race is SUNDAY, day 5th. Better make that clear on the topic since I can't change the title...

Quote from pacesetter :

I'm in , [tPM] James, i will try get my teammates to do it too,

Great!

Yup, I think forcing people to stay on the server is far too much. I can't think of a way of doing this, really.

Zeug's lottery idea is funny, but if people can't bother staying on the server for 5 minutes to see the next race, will they wait 50 minutes to get the chance to race another time?


Did anyone notice my signature?

I like Di Grassi, he's probably the best driver we have from the "new generation" (and probably the last, since we only got crap stock cars now). He did a great GP2 season and wasn't in a top team (or was?).

There's Senna as well, but I don't think he's "ready", so to speak. I mean he has potential, but can you put a guy that has been racing for 4 years in F1?

PS: Piquet's problem might come from the fact he has always raced for his father. Renault was the first time, if I'm not mistaken, he's on his own. You can say his name put him where he is now, wich seems to be the opposite of Bruno Senna.

Quote from sam93 :

I dont get what is wrong with Hamilton being Cocky and Arrogant? Aren't we really intrested in what he does on the track and not what he is like out of the car? I don't see why this is a problem.

There's nothing wrong with him being cocky and arrogant, it's his choice. But then again am I wrong by not liking him because of that?

Quote from de Souza :

Meh, changed Alonso for Kovalainen. Also forgot to place bets, I can see a bad result coming...

Wasn't that bad actually, 682 points and 2 places up. I wish I had started at the begining...

Zeug is on fire :smash3d:

Quote from evilpimp :

Ahh interusting but got MoE 12 hour race and OneGP the same day. :S

Excuses... Good luck on both.

Quote from Badseed247 :

I'd be up for this if it was @ 17:00 UTC.

I can change it if it's ok for everyone, doesn't really matter for me. I put 18:00 because seem to be a reasonable time for everyone... If most people think 17:00 is better, than we do it at 17:00.

What do you guys think?
